Coding mock interviews. Practice 1-on-1 with ex-interviewers from Google, Amazon, etc.

Preparing for coding interviews can take a lot of time. We recommend using a structured approach to maximize your efficiency. From a high level view, your prep process should look something like this:

• Find out what are the typical questions you’re likely to face 
• Study up on the relevant data structures and algorithms
• Practice solving coding problems on your own
• Practice solving coding problems in an interview situation

Our engineering interview blog has a ton of useful material to help you study. And you can use our Coding interview prep guide as a launch pad.

You’ll need to do plenty of practice answering coding interview questions. Sites such as LeetCode are very useful for solving coding problems on your own. We also have some great resources for practicing coding questions, such as our Data structure interview questions list and our Algorithm interview questions list.

Once you’re confident in solving coding problems on your own, you’ll want to test yourself in an interview situation - talking someone through your answers as you go, and responding to any follow up questions.

If you know someone who has experience of running coding interviews, that’s great. If not, just book one of the mock interview coaches here on our platform.

As far as we know, LeetCode does not have mock interviews, instead it uses an online simulator. If you’re looking for free peer-to-peer mock interviews, you could try Pramp. Otherwise, to have mock interviews with ex-FAANG coaches who’ll give you insightful, actionable feedback on your coding, book a coach on our platform.

If you’re looking to practice mock interviews with other candidates, we recommend checking our list of best mock interview websites which includes free peer-to-peer options. However, while doing mock interviews with peers can be useful to get started, we recommend practicing with actual ex-interviewers, if you can afford the extra investment. They’ll be able to provide you with highly accurate and actionable feedback. This is what our coaches specialize in.

Yes, once you’ve purchased your mock interview sessions you can schedule them with any coach on our team.

Yes, unused mock interview sessions can be refunded within 60 days of getting purchased. After 60 days the sessions cannot be refunded anymore, but you can still use them at any point in the future.

If you do get a refund it will be corrected for the discount you initially got. As an example, imagine you have purchased 10 sessions, and paid 10 x $129 = $1,290. If you end up only using 5 sessions, we will refund you the difference between what you have paid ($1,290), and what you would have paid had you purchased 5 sessions (5 x $139 = $695). So in this specific example we would refund: $1,290 - $695 = $595.

You can request a refund for your unused sessions directly from the order tab in your account.

There is no time limit to use the mock interview sessions. You can purchase them now and use them whenever you like.

Once you've purchased your sessions you'll have access to our mock interview scheduling system. You'll be able to pick a coach and select an available time slot in their calendar. Coaches require 24h notice for the sessions. So if you purchase today you could start with your first session as early as tomorrow. When you book a coach you'll also be able to let them know what you'd like to focus on for your session (e.g. product strategy, product design etc.) and they'll be able to help with that.

Your mock interview session is tailored to you. Your coach will work with you in advance of the session to decide what you will cover during the hour. Most of the candidates who work with us use this time to do a full mock interview but you could use it instead as an hour of coaching and advice.

When booking a coach you’ll be given the opportunity to specify what companies you’re interviewing with (e.g. Google, Facebook, etc.) and what question types you would like to focus on. If you don’t know the answer to these questions yet that’s completely fine – your coach will be here to guide you.

Mock interview sessions can be cancelled and rescheduled for free by giving us more than 24h notice. In other words, if you decide you don’t need the session anymore and tell us more than 24h in advance it will be eligible for a refund as an "unused" session. Or if you decided that you want to do the session at another time and tell us more than 24h in advance we will reschedule it for free.

If you fail to attend a mock interview session, or are more than 15mins late, the session will be considered a "no show" and it will count as having been used.
